RESEARCH AND CRITICISM

Objectives:

1. To understand the fundamentals of theoretical architectural research, its objectives

and its essential methodologies.

2. To be able to build up from documentation and data collection to critical analysis

and evaluation. Bloom’s Taxonomy may be used by teachers to convey the

various levels in research and evaluation to students.

3. To develop and attitude of Critical Thinking (reflective reasoning about beliefs

and actions and ways of deciding whether a claim is always true, sometimes true,

partly true, or false, from Robert Ennis) and its essential dimensions: the analysis,

assessment, dispositions, skills and abilities and obstacles or barriers to critical

thought (from critcalthinking.org)

Sessional Work: This semester small projects of research and reflective writing shall be

undertaken by students to develop personal skills of research presentation and critical

evaluation (using previously gained knowledge of referencing and citation). Students

should be encouraged also to write pieces that are argumentative, and disputational to be

able to convey with clarity and effectiveness alternative and individualistic thinking

about architecture.
